.htaccess question, pulling up external list.txt

[mkx]

Need to use the same list of IP's to block on a few of my sites. Can I make it go to a list.txt file on the server somehow?

Current .htaccess:
##### start anti spy squirrel script
deny from XX.XX.XX.X
ErrorDocument 403 /error.html
##### end anti spy squirrel script

want to:

##### start anti spy squirrel script
deny from http://www.mysite.com/list.txt
ErrorDocument 403 /error.html
##### end anti spy squirrel script

and in list.txt i will list the ip's I want to block line by line.

How do I properly say this line?
deny from http://www.mysite.com/list.txt

I think you can do it with mod rewrite

[mkx]

code perhaps?

you can't do that with .htaccess alone.

Why did you base64 encode your ICQ?

Also, what's stated here.

It'd be easier for you just to make a script which reads the list.txt and prepends it to your .htaccess

This has no bounds checking and is dumb as hell, but will do what you want. Trivially wrapped as a CGI so you can activate via browser rather than shell. Again, it's stupid, but it's free.

addnewbans.cgi:

#/bin/sh
echo "Content-type: text/plain"
echo ""
echo "Parsing list.txt in current directory..."
for n in `cat list.txt`; do echo "deny from $n" >> newshit
cp .htacess .htaccess-last
mv newshit .htaccess
cat .htaccess-last >> .htaccess
echo "Done. .htaccess has new bans set; last copy is saved as .htaccess-last"

Edit: For denying a specific URL you'll want to use mod_rewrite.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://clownpenis\.fart/booz.html [NC, OR]...
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [F]

Thanks dude will try that out
